Not exactly. You can make an out six out of ten times and achieve a .400 batting average, but they don't all have to be strikeouts. Plenty of other ways to make those six outs. True but I think my point still stands. To achieve a batting average of .400, one must fail to get a hit 6 or if 10 time at bat. Carm and staff may fail at identifying under recruited talent but as long as they find those diamonds in the rough I’m ok with those “misses”. Some will disagree and that’s ok too. With 13 scholarships if only 40% are "hits" you only have 5 players in the rotation. You don't win many basketball games with that percentage. |

That’s why not “if” you’re assuming ALL 13 ships we’re handed out on ALL under recruited talent. THAT hadn’t happened yet. |

The moderate middle way is sensible and rational. Every recruit is an unknown until they take the court in DI. Portal recruits have a track record but how they will mess with the team and accept their role is an unknown. It comes down to a matter of trust in the coaching staff. Past experience suggests trust is warranted, but in this era of maxi roster turnover every year is a new ballgame. I choose to be cautiously optimistic until the product on the floor shows what the roster can do. My optimism will either confirmed or shown to be misplaced or somewhere in between. An off-season filled with gloom and doom isn’t my idea of a good time.

Thinking like this means you’ll never be the poster who will tell or remind us how he was the first on the board to identify and to post what a miss a certain recruit is/was … of course we’ll never hear about the multitude of players he was wrong about who became contributors |

That’s why not “if” you’re assuming ALL 13 ships we’re handed out on ALL under recruited talent. THAT hadn’t happened yet. There are misses on highly recruited talent as well. Dana Tate, Adian Carpenter, Kyle Young come immediately to mind. Misses are misses and if only 40% contribute you are still left with 5 contributors on a 13 man roster. |

Agree and Siena hasn’t had anywhere near 60% misses annually. What’s a comparable .400 batting avg for a season in the pros to college Basketball recruiting. Does that mean one, two or three or more misses annually good or bad? I’d say that a .400 pro batting would be comparable to recruiting 10-12 super studs in college BBall. Very rarely going to happen even at the elite teams. So then you try and recruit 7-10 pretty good and have 5-6 really good practice players to work with them. Or, think of it this way. If Carm sucks so much at recruiting (based in the number of critics the past three years questioning his recruiting) why has he been able to get those players to finish 1, 1 & 3? Yes, I’d like to win the MAAC tournament but if Carm is such a lousy recruiter, game time coach, dodo hard to get along with that players supposedly are jumping ship then why has he continued to put together winning teams? I don’t buy that he is a bad recruiter, in game coach or that people can’t get along with him. It’s just that I appear to be in the vocal minority trying to defend him with the more vocal critics. |
